I thought I would enjoy this film. The incredibly talented cast drew me in. But this movie was just bad. The editing felt unnatural, mostly due to poor coverage. The miserable script did whatever it wanted to, lacking fluidity and entirely ignoring rationality. And the direction felt lazy: while the performances lacked believability and the visual design was bland, but the cinematographer and location scout knew what they were doing. The locations helped this film tremendously.
All of these things left the film far short of its premise. I love to laugh, and wish there was more here. Oh well. Until next time, Adam Scott.
